Sort Lines Lexicographically did not workbrowsing

I had a file with a 300+ names in it. When I clicked on Sort Lexicographically either ascending or descending nothing happened. When I used the dos sort command the file sorted correctly.
Notepad++ Edit/Line Operations/Sort Lines Lexicographically.

Is it possible that when you executed the sort you had a selection active that only touched one line? In such a case the sort will do nothing–this situation happened to me once, that’s why I thought of it now.

Here is the list of lines. Notice that at line 184 things are not sorted even though I ran the sort lines lexicographically before pasting the list into the page. Also there are duplicates that should be next to each other but are not. DOS sort works just fine. Is it possible that the length of the list is to long?

There’s nothing about your data that would cause it to not sort. There’s nothing about the Notepad++ v7.5.8 32-bit executable that would cause it not to sort. Either one of your plugins is interfering (try again, but use notepad++.exe -noPlugin when running, instead of your normal shortcut – you can even edit your normal shortcut to include that option; I just tried, and it still sorted just fine for me), or there is user error.

Did you try the short list, like I showed in my screen capture movie? Does that work for you, or not?
